Gretta Speaks

In the interview that Ig - or should we say Evelyn? - gave after
nearly 40 years of silence in The Croydon Guardian she remembers how she
helped Syd to paint the floorboards that would give an extra psychedelic
feel to The Madcap Laughs cover picture.

When Mick turned up to take the photos I helped paint the floor boards
for the shoot, I was covered in paint, I still remember the smell of it.

But Ig, as we will keep on calling her, isn’t the only one remembering.
Also present were Rusty and Margaretta, better known as Gretta:

I remember that Iggy was involved with the floor painting project and
that she had paint all over her during the floor painting time but I was
not involved with the painting of the floor.
